How To Insert Random Text In Microsoft Office Word 2010
Microsoft Office Word lets you quickly insert sample text into a document. In
certain scenarios such as when creating a new Word template, you might want to
insert some random text. Rather than copy pasting or typing random words you can
use the built-in function in Word to insert some random text. Heres how you can do
it.

Just type =rand() and press Enter. A random paragraph will be inserted in your
document where you typed the command automatically.

You can even modify the command to insert your desired number of paragraphs and
lines.

Type =rand(p,s) where p is the number of paragraphs and s is the number of

sentences in those paragraphs. For example, if you enter =rand(3,5), three
paragraphs with five sentences will be inserted.

If any of the values inside the brackets are not entered, the default values will
be used.

To insert non-localized, pseudo-Latin sample text in Word 2010, type =lorem() in

the document where you want the text to appear, and hit Enter. If you use the
command =lorem(), the default lorem ipsum sample text will be inserted instead of
the random text.

You can control how many paragraphs and lines appear by adding numbers inside the
parentheses of the lorem() function. The =lorem() function has the following
syntax: lorem(p,l).
